Will my boy like the Heresy?

Hello World. 

I was blessed at the end of 2014 with a little fella. My partner and I decided to name him Nathaniel, a name we both appreciated for different reasons. 


Now little Nate is growing quickly and I can't help but wonder if he will have a future interest in the Horus Heresy. 

I got into the hobby when I was very young (about 8 years old). It started with my Grandad's passion for collecting Airfix kits and painting every one referencing historical data. I then was introduced to mini wargaming with Space Crusade and Hero Quest, as well as access to several others with models at an after school club. 

Many a time I have gone to Warhammer World and met Sons and Dads having gaming weekends and Tournaments together. 

I like to think that Nathaniel will grow up with an interest in the game and bug me all the time at the painting / gaming station - to get involved too. I can imagine seeing a gaming table full of ruins and tanks and warriors being very appealing to a young boy. 

I can imagine reading and telling him all of the Horus Heresy stories (bringing him up on them like I was with Star Wars). 

I can't be the only one out there who is / had thought about this when their baby came along. 

I just hope he has an interest in the Legions and game that his Dad loves, just like Little Bunny does.

      Cheers Atia :) really appreciate it. Was toying with the idea of a Scimitar Jetbike Mobile for him :)

      Love the info you found on the Warden and Crusader. Really shocked they might be a dual kit though (was expecting a Crusader / Castellan dual kit and a Warden with 2 weapon options.

      Did you find a Thunderhawk redirect on the store? I seem to remember mention of it but could not find it.

    If I'd had a boy, wide was going to let me name him Vulkan, but a certain other sci-fi show had aliens spelled with a c. Doubt most people would understand a good strong godly name.
    I also read the background sections of the HH books to my daughter along with the usual baby books. Especially the background on the XVIIITH and XIXTH legions!
